The climate in Washington seems to drive away honest people who truly want to help the people, leaving us with dishonest crooks who only care about power. But unless honest people begin to run for office, our democracy won't last much longer. I plan... [Read More]

No. What every religion throughout all of the ages has feared the most: Educate them. Enlighten them in the ways of the world. Make them see the delusions of their dogma. Despite what you might think, not all Christians are uneducated heathens. Chris... [Read More]

Jedi Monk, if God chose the first Pope (St Peter) who was a married man, why is it forbidden for the Pope then to marry? The celibacy of Priests in the Latin Rite is a discipline, not a dogma; it could be changed. Priests in the Eastern Rite can marr... [Read More]

That's why it's false to call saber the English spelling - you should call it the correct American spelling. Fine, I won't call it the English spelling: it's the definitive Star Wars spelling in English-speaking countries :p http://members.aol.com/... [Read More]
